"Don't be surprised, the Queen Mother has no malice below!" The person who came smiled lightly, but it made Empress Dowager He feel cold all over her body.

"That's... What are you here for? The Queen Mother was very frightened, even Liu Bian and Concubine Tang were trembling, only Princess Wannian didn't know who was coming, so she didn't feel anything.

You must know that Liu Zhang once said hello, and at all costs, he wanted to bring Liu Bian and the four people back, and he wanted to leave a trace of blood for Liu Hong. Because of this, Shi Ah is more faithful.

Chivalry values righteousness, benevolence values affection, Shi A may be ruthless, but he is a chivalrous warrior who values righteousness. Liu Hong's kindness to Liu Zhang, he once saw it in his eyes. If Liu Zhang did not take care of Liu Hong's orphans and widows, Shi A would despise Liu Zhang as a human being, and even leave him.

Seeing the panic of the Empress Dowager He and the others, Shi A's eyes became sharper and sharper, and his hand unconsciously pressed on the sword. Seeing this, the visitor shouted, "Wait! Listen to me. ”

"Speak quickly!" Shi A's eyes showed a cold light, and the sword was slightly unsheathed.

"It's not safe here, let's go in first, how about it?" The person who came looked bitter, he knew that he was under Dong Zhuo's command and was not treated, but now in order to survive, he had to make compromises, who let Dong Zhuo die!

"This..."Shi A looked at Empress Dowager He with some hesitation, after all, she was the highest person here.

After the initial panic, Empress Dowager He had completely calmed down, and she smiled lightly: "Mr. Shi, he is just a scribe, just go in and say!" We stand here, in case we are seen by the rebels, it will not be good! ”

"Yes! Queen Mother, please first! "Since Empress Dowager He agreed, Shi A is not hypocritical. As the Queen Mother said, the person who comes is a scribe and can kill him at will. Shi Ah let the four Empress Dowager He go first, he was sandwiched in the middle, let the people come into the house last, and closed the door by the way.

Under the leadership of Shi A, Empress Dowager He and others went straight to the backyard of Cai's mansion. In Cai Yan's room back then, they entered a secret room, and this secret room went deep underground. But as soon as they entered the secret room, Empress Dowager He and the others were stunned! I saw that there were many daily necessities in the secret room, and on a couch in the far corner, there was a person who was tied up like a dumpling.

"Woo woo..." Seeing someone come in, the person tied around the corner began to struggle.

"Boss, don't struggle! No one here will untie you, or I'll tie him up with you!" Shi A smiled, and everyone was a little baffled.

"Hmm..." The tied man moved his head twice, motioning for Shi Ah to take the contents of his mouth off, he had something to say.

"As long as you stop yelling, I'll take it down for you!" Shi Ah walked over to the tied man and crouched down.

"Uh-huh—" The bound man nodded quickly, and Shi Ah took the piece of cloth out of his mouth.

"Shia! You bastard, you dare to tie me up, and you dare to gag me..."The person who was tied up seemed very angry, but Shi Ah just shook the cloth in his hand, and he didn't dare to roar anymore.

"Don't blame me, sir, it was your son-in-law who ordered it! I want me to keep you trapped in the secret room, so that you don't have to do stupid things! Blame it, you have to blame your son-in-law! Shi A smiled, and he didn't understand why Liu Zhang had to tie Cai Yong up in the secret room. However, since Liu Zhang gave the order, Shi A certainly did it. Because Shi Ah knew that Liu Zhang must have done this for a reason.

"Liu Jiyu!" The bound man gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to eat Liu Zhang alive.

"Cai... Cai Langzhong? Although there were candles lit in the secret room, the light was too dim, and Cai Yong was tied up in the corner, if it weren't for Shi A mentioning Cai Yong's son-in-law, and Cai Yong said Liu Zhang's name, Empress Dowager He wouldn't have recognized it.

"Huh? This sound is so familiar! "Cai Yong was tied there, of course he couldn't see the Empress Dowager He. However, he often listens to the voice of the Empress Dowager He, so he is very familiar with it.

"It's a mourner!" Although Empress Dowager He didn't understand why Cai Yong was tied up here, since it was Liu Zhang's order, it made sense.

"Huh? Dowager? Cai Yong was shocked: "Shi, did you rescue the Queen Mother?" What about King Hongnong? ”

"I'm here!" Liu was also very moved when he saw that Cai Yong cared so much about himself.

"Old minister Cai Yong, see..."Cai Yong just wanted to salute, but suddenly found that he was still tied, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Shi'a, let me go quickly, I want to meet the Queen Mother and King Hongnong!" ”

"Cai Langzhong doesn't need to be polite!" Empress Dowager He smiled: "Since it was the champion Hou who ordered you to tie you up, there must be a reason, you better stay first!" ”

"Uh..."Hearing what Empress Dowager He said, Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Empress Dowager He would listen to Liu Zhang's words like this. Cai Yong knew that no one would help him untie the rope, so he stopped struggling.

"Now tell me what you're here for!" Shi Ah turned his head to look at the man he met at the door, and the two sharp mans made the man feel cold.

"I really have no malice, I just want to follow you to the champion Hou!" The person who came said his purpose helplessly.

"You're going to join the champion?" Empress Dowager He asked in great surprise: "You are not only Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, but also Dong Zhuo's chief think tank, do you think the champion Hou will take you in?" ”

It turned out that the person who came was Li Ru, who had escaped, and he did not take advantage of the chaos to go out of the city, but lurked near Cai's mansion. Of course, if he really wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get out of the city, then it would not be the fake Li Ru who was killed by Xishikou, but him. Although Wang Yun is stubborn, he is not stupid, how can he not send people to control the city gate?

"I don't know!" Li Ru sighed and said, "Kill or stay, I just want to go to Yizhou to see my wife and children." Even if he is killed by the champion Hou, it is nothing! My father-in-law is dead, and no one will reuse me anymore! ”

"The Queen Mother..."Shi A asked softly, "What should I do?" ”

"Take him to Champion Hou!" Of course, Empress Dowager He knows Li Ru's talent, and now it is a troubled time, and if she can fight for a talent for Liu Zhang, it can be regarded as repaying Liu Zhang. What's more, Empress Dowager He already has the shadow of Liu Zhang in her heart, and this shadow is now becoming clearer and clearer.

"This..."Shi A asked in surprise: "Li Ru helped the emperor to abuse, and brutalized the royal family several times, how can you let him go like this, Queen Mother..."

"Royalty?" Liu Wei smiled: "What did Li Ru do that harmed the royal family?" I heard that Dong Zhuo handed over all government affairs to him, and he was able to handle it very well, and he was a prime minister. Now that it is a troubled time, Uncle Xiao Huang needs a lot of talents, if Li Ru can be used by Uncle Xiaohuang, wouldn't it be a blessing? Besides, the royal family, except for Liu Xie, there is only me! Who did Li Ru bully again? ”

Even Liu Yan said so, Shi Ah no longer insisted, he looked at Li Ru and said: "You can hide here first, but if you dare to do anything wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword!" ”

"If you don't feel at ease, you can tie me up!" Li Ru looked at Cai Yong on the couch with a smile on his face.

"Dong Xiang is dead? How did he die? Cai Yong didn't know why Li Ru sought refuge in Shi A at first, but at this moment he reacted.

"Dong Zhuo was eliminated by Wang Yun and Lu Bu together!" Shi A looked noncommittal, he had neither a good impression nor a bad feeling towards Dong Zhuo.

"What?" Cai Yong was stunned and asked, "Isn't Lu Bu Dong Zhuo's righteous son?" Why did Wang Yun go with Lu Bu? And how was Dong Xiang's body disposed of? ”

"Uh..." Seeing that Cai Yong didn't know anything, except for Shi A, everyone else was surprised. Although Shi Ah restrained Cai Yong's actions, he still told Cai Yong about the cause and effect, and told Wang Yun about Dong Zhuo's violent corpse!

"The dignified prime minister of the Han Dynasty actually ended up like this!" Hearing that Dong Zhuo was violently corpsed, the saddest person was not Li Ru, but Cai Yong.

Everyone in the world said that Cai Yong was coerced by Dong Zhuo, so he worked for Dong Zhuo in desperation. Since he was coerced, why did he collect Dong Zhuo's body after Dong Zhuo's death, and even kept saying what kind of grace it was? In fact, after Dong Zhuo became prime minister, he discussed his ideas with Cai Yong several times, and Cai Yong was also very approve. Otherwise, how could the noble doctor of the scholars be in the same league as the rebellious ministers and thieves?

Is Cai Yong afraid of death, or is he afraid of affecting his family? If he is afraid of death or afraid of affecting his family, how can he collect Dong Zhuo's body! Not to mention that Cai Yong and Wang Yun are friends, in Cai Yong's opinion, Wang Yun will not kill him.

You must know that Cai Yong and Wang Yun had already fallen out at that time. As for the reason for the reversal, it is precisely the political disagreement between the two. Wang Yun wants to reuse the family, but Cai Yong thinks that the family should be suppressed!

"Don't be so sad when you're old!" Seeing that Cai Yong was speechless, Shi A smiled and said: "This is also to blame Dong Zhuo, when he heard that the emperor wanted a Zen position, he actually ran away, and the result was an opportunity for Lu Bu and Wang Yunke to take advantage of." ”

"Nope! Not so! Li Ru's eyes were blood-red and said: "My father-in-law wants to be the Duke of Zhou, how can he ever think of usurping the throne?" It's just that there's nothing he can do about it! ”

"What do you mean?" Seeing Li Ru like this, everyone looked puzzled, especially Empress Dowager He and Liu Yan.

Li Ru said: "Father-in-law, the biggest problem is that he is lustful, in addition to being lustful, what has he done to be sorry for the big man?" Yes, he did some excesses, but do you know what he was doing? Do you know how much grain and grass the 400,000 army needs in a year? The father-in-law does not rob the people's grain and grass, and does not melt the twelve gold people to mint money, what does he use to support the soldiers, and what does he use to feed those court officials who only eat and do not do things? Those officials, holding the money issued by their father-in-law, are hindering their father-in-law's great politics behind their backs, and when their father-in-law is helpless, what can they do if they don't kill them? ”

Everyone was stunned! Everyone only saw Dong Zhuo's cruelty, but who saw the pain behind Dong Zhuo? You must know that the grain and grass of the 400,000 army is an astronomical amount every day. Liangzhou does not produce grain in the first place, and Chang'an and Luoyang were originally metropolises, basically relying on commercial taxes and city gate taxes.

In the past, when the world was unified, Liu Hong could still rely on the money and grain handed over to the treasury from all over the country to do things, but now how can anyone hand over money and grain to the treasury? Dong Zhuo was sitting and eating every day, but he had to try his best to maintain it, because as long as he fell, what greeted him would be death, or the destruction of the Nine Clans!
